Power Balancing for Electric Utilities - Pratexo

With the rapid evolution of electrification, utility grids face increasing challenges in maintaining consistent, high-quality power amidst large fluctuations in supply and demand. The integration of variable renewable energy sources further complicates grid stability, making real-time power balancing a necessity. The Pratexo Power Balancing Solution offers a robust and scalable solution to intelligently broker power from distributed sources. With a response time of up to 20 milliseconds and accuracy within 0.01 Hz, this solution empowers utilities to mitigate frequency deviations, ensure grid reliability, and enable participation in local flexibility markets.

The framework unifies previously siloed infrastructure components, offering complete system-wide visibility, even when multiple OEMs are involved. The platform supports market-based pricing, ensuring the optimal balance of supply and demand, and allows for real-time system control via Frequency Containment Reserve (FCR) and Fast Frequency Response (FFR) systems.

By integrating low-cost sensors and advanced software, Pratexo’s solution offers real-time insights and control, making it easier to balance power consumption and production while maintaining grid stability.
